MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 2015
Assuming that the Turismo Veloce 800 is MV Agusta's first strike in the touring motorbike sector, it can certainly be considered extremely successful. The design alone is already ravishing, but the riding performance goes one better. Above all, the engine and handling play at an extremely high level, which on the one hand does not ignore the necessary touring comfort, but on the other hand also takes MV Agusta's sporting tradition into account. All in all, the whole package is just tremendous fun - both in the tighter tangle of bends and on wider tracks. The only real weak point is the high price, but this also preserves a certain exclusivity. Anyone who has cleared this hurdle at the cash desk will be rewarded with a universally usable motorbike that is always fun and enjoyable everywhere - in front of the ice cream parlour as well as on winding mountain passes.
BMW S 1000 XR 2015
The BMW S 1000 XR does its job as a sporty touring machine very well. 160 hp and 228 kilos ready to ride already hint at agile handling, but in the saddle it looks even better. Just like the naked heavyweight S 1000 R, the XR cannot deny its kinship to the S 1000 R superbike. Added to this is an impeccably comfortable riding position and a wide handlebar that makes zipping through hairpin bends a pleasure. The electronics inspire unrestricted confidence and the brakes can be applied as if on a super sports bike. Only the screeching four-cylinder exhaust noise and the vibrations in the mid-range don't really suit a tourer. Otherwise, the S 1000 XR is completely convincing.
